Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955


I'm not sure if this post is in the correct topic, but the title says it all. I live in a house that was built back in 1955 and this house has very few grounded outlets. I use power strips throughout the home and have never had a problem occur.

I plan to upgrade one power strip and my question is if I use a power strip like this one

Would I have a wiring fault as the outlet is not grounded?

This power strip doesn't have a yellow light built in.

I'm not an expert in the field so that is why I'm asking.

My first question would be what are you planning to plug into this box?  With so many plugs, will you be overloading the circuit?  Do you have the opportunity to run a dedicated gounded line fron your main panel?  If grounding is important,  I don't see that plugging things into a power strip that goes into a non grounded outlet will achieve anything?
